You have auditing or replication triggers that fire as BEFORE
triggers? What do they do if a subsequent trigger further modifies
the operation before the statement is applied to the database?
(Obviously, all BEFORE triggers fire before the statement is
applied, and all AFTER triggers fire after the statement is
applied, so naming can never cause an AFTER trigger to fire before
a BEFORE trigger.)

I just include a 3 digit number as part of my trigger names. Why
is that harder than adding a new clause to the CREATE TRIGGER
statement?
